the name of that rubber handle cold steel bowie, with a 7 1/2" black blade? its discontinued now and I have one and was thinking it was called "bushman". its not the recon scout was a cheaper knife than that. well anyways I was wrong its not bushman thats the all metal handle cheap knife. so I looked and looked online can't find anything on it. (may help if I knew what I was looking for! ) cold steel used to sale it for 75.00, can't post its pic right now cause my camera is broke.

[knarfeng]

CS used to make a knife called the "bushmaster".

Would that be it?

Jill,
Try googling the phrase "cold steel bushmaster".

I saw several nice comments in the results.

it was bush ranger. i found it. FRom 2000 blade forums> For a general purpose blade, you can't go wrong with the Bushranger. It is a "jack of all, master of none" type blade. It slices real well and is a good light duty chopper. The best part is that it does all of this at a mere eight and a half ounces. I have a friend who has the SRK. He is an EMT and bought it in case he needs to hack someone out of a car. For that purpose it fits the bill. He told me that it is just too thick to be an all around blade. I have been very satisfied with the Bushranger's performance and would recommend it to anyone. The sheath is adequate. You should have no problem finding someone to make you a kydex sheath. Do a search and you will find lots of quality people here who will do it for a reasonable price.
Renfield, I have to disagree with your opinion on not wanting a larger knife in a survival situation. For a camp knife I would agree. But try building a shelter or splitting wood in a downpour with a 4" blade and you will see what I mean. You can make a larger knife do yeoman's duty on smaller stuff but the reverse isn't always true. Spend some time in the Wilderness Survival forum and you will see what I am talking about. Wow! It only took you a week and a half to get to a hundred posts. You must have a lot to say.

Take care, (AND a big knife)

This high-performance trio from Cold Steel exemplifies the company's strengths. The "Land and Sea Rescue," "Bush Ranger" (fixed blade) and "Large Voyager" clip point all perform different jobs but share the same lineage.

The Land and Sea Rescue features a "sheep's foot" blade and a Zytel handle which is nearly indestructible. The stainless steel blade features a shaving sharp edge. The aggressive serrations enable the knife to waltz through tough manila or polypro lines neatly. The pocket clip encourages you to keep it at hand and the one-handed opening feature means no fumbling when the seconds are ticking away.

The Bush Ranger is stout yet lightweight with a 71/2" fixed blade. The extra-long clip point means you can do fine work with the point if you have to, but is stout enough for serious cutting and abuse in an emergency. The soft, "sticky" handle material means no slipping hands if it gets wet and the contoured guard keeps the fingers where they belong -- on the handle. This is a great outdoors or general-wear knife.
